<h1>Specifying proportional or fixed width for items in a selector</h1>
<p class="whs1">You can control the sizing behavior of the 
 selector items with the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Make all items 
 the same width</B></span> property. The items are the buttons or check boxes, 
 for example, of a selector. </p>
<p class="whs1">By default, items are sized proportionally, 
 which means that the width of each item is proportional to the length 
 of the text inside the item. This allows the complete text of each item 
 to be displayed, with little wasted space. To use the same width for all 
 the items, specify a fixed item size. </p>
<p class="whs1">In the example below, the width of the selector 
 items (the links above the Grid/Graph) are sized proportionally&emdash;Northwest 
 is longer than (All), for example. This is the default behavior. </p>
<p class="whs2"><img src="images/selector_width.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="405px" height="210px" border="0" class="img_whs3"></p>
<p class="whs1">If the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Make 
 all items the same width</B></span> property is selected, the width of each 
 selector item is the same size as the others, as shown below. In this 
 case, the (All) item has extra space, while Northwest is cut off, displaying 
 as Northwe instead. </p>
